Memorable Moments Codes delivered by Today (10/6)

[The Predator]

Based on the original thread from Mesanna below -- we should know and have our codes by the end of the day -- have we heard about the East Coast shards yet?

To help us celebrate our 15th year anniversary we have come up with a nice piece of art that will be the reward for this writing contest. We will be picking 5 winners from each shard. The players that write the best story about their most memorable moment in UO will be sent a code to redeem for one of these robes.
The rules are as follows:

• Must be between 250 to 500 words
• Deadline September 15th
• Essays will be judged based on originality, content, and how well they capture what is special about the memorable moment they have chosen to describe.
• Winners and their essays will be announced on the Herald
• Codes will be mailed to you by Mesanna by October 6th
• Mail your entries to your shard Event Moderator. If you do not have an EM on your shard, please email your entries to [email protected]

Good luck to everyone and we look forward to reading your stories. Here

I have no email , so I assume I have not won

 

[Blood Ghoul]

Guess I should look at my email

 

[The Predator]

I just have seen that they have announced the winners from other shards.....so at least we would know if we have won or not via that communication.

checks email..............

oceania was released today

I think seeing how they handed them out at the party and one on twitter that everyone that wrote a story should get one

 

[Merus]

You have got to be joking right... EA/Mythic actually doing what they announce they will do... have you not paid attention the last 15 years? They could not even get their RTB turned on on schedule. The entries have only been turned in for 3 weeks, not nearly enough time for them to stay on the schedule they announced. Obviously they only had time for a couple Asion shards and the Austrailian shard that had a total of what... 6 or 7 stories to read... but then again, that is assuming alot... that they actually read those stories since everyone from those shards won.

 

[The Predator]

I don't think they should do anything else, other than just communicating that it will take longer if necessary....

I also don't want to turn this into a battle between developers and players --- just a more open form of communication if things are not on schedule. I'll put it this way, I know that if something is not going to meet a target deadline, and I don't inform my clients/manager....I should know that I will be reprimanded.

I agree with this 100%

Alls I know is if the clock strikes midnight EST and there's no email or no update for a delay, this will be my new UO Memorable Moment.

 

[Olahorand]

Never even got a confirmation, if the sent story reached the EM ...

 

[Blood Ghoul]

Never even got a confirmation, if the sent story reached the EM ...

That was my biggest hang-up also..I sent mine to the EM and a few days later to Mesanna and never got a reply..even if I do not win I just hope they got it

As a side note -- I spoke with EM Bennu on Atlantic yesterday evening after the Blackthorn event -- the entries are still under review. I'm sure it is taking time based on the volume of stories for some shards. I understand it is probably a lot of work, but it would also be appreciated if there was some communication stating that there is a delay, and if a "new" deadline could be set to manage the player's expectations.

I know the staff is trying to improve communication to the players --- here is a good example on how you can improve. No one likes to be in the dark.

 

[Promathia]

I know someone who won on Oceania, and they have not recieved any codes yet. So do not take it as no email yet = you didnt win.

 

[Merus]

It's like delaying Xmas... Or worse yet a sweet IDOC that goes OSI with no visible venders....

Sadness.​

​

EM Borbarad wanted to speak with us in the counselors hall.​

He needed to talk to us about some sad news he had received.​

​

​

​

Many people came to hear what Borbarad had to tell us.​

He first had to tell us that the event with Grimm was postponed.​

Mesanna been ill had could not help him to set things up for him for the event.​

He was very sorry about it but we understand that these things can happen.​

This event will be delayed until next Saturday.​

​

​

​

Then he had to tell us the sad news.​

He was informed that a few days ago we lost a member of our community.​

Sir Red is no longer with us in our world.​

In name of the Drachenfels community i give my condolences to his family and friends.​

Several people had contacted Borbarad if it would be possible to have a memorial for Sir Red.​

We all agreed that it was the right thing to do for a last honor to Sir Red in Sosaria.​

After the meeting with Borbarad several people left to discuss the details on this memorial.​

The memorial will be held next Wednesday after the coronation of Lord Blackthorn.​

​

​

​

The Coronation will be held in the new castle of Lord Blackthorn.​

Everyone is invited to witness this milestone in Sosaria.​

More details on the time of the coronation will follow soon.​

​

Me personally can not go too this event, my friends and family are free to do what they please.​

But my personal believes and feelings will not accept Lord Blackthorn as the new king.​

I only believe and follow the Virtues and i will never accept the Lord of Chaos as ruler of this world.​

I can not trust him!​

​

I will prepare myself for the memorial of Sir Red when this coronation takes place.​

May the Virtues protect us all!​

Get well Mesanna!

 

[The Predator]

Get well Mesanna!

Sorry to hear that she is ill --- hope she gets well soon.

 

[Winker]

Get well Mesanna!

That should give the old girl plenty of time to read all the stories, so when she is fit and well again everyone should their robes.


Get well soon Mesanna

 

[Alexander of ATL.]

Hope ya start feeling well Mesanna!

 

[Ludes]
